Hello everyone. My name is Bill and although I don't own a Chevelle, I do however own a '72 Cutlass. It is an Arizona car with the original paint still shining. It's a street/strip car and runs 11.90's thru full exhaust. I'm shooting for 11.50's. I do not want to put a roll bar in it. It's to dang nice.

Anyhow, I thought since the A body has essentially the same chassis, I figured this is a good place for some ideas.

It has QA1 coilovers in the front on reenforced front control arms. Also has Hotchkis front sway bar. (Yes I undo the end links for the track) The rear has airbags in the coils that I pump up while at the track. Also has Edelbrock adjustable uppers, Hotchkis lower arms, and a Hotchkis anti-sway bar.

Hello and welcome Bill. You didn't mention what engine you have.

Oooops. It's a mild 455, th400 trans, and 3:90 O type rear. I have a new Moser 12 bolt coming. Should be here this Monday. I snapped an axle last fall racing at Cedar Falls, Iowa. Best 60ft. is a 1.65 on Mickey Thompson drag radials.

I'm from right around there too-by Mercy, just a little farther south.

I'm sure I'll see you around when our blizzard like winter finally breaks

Glad to see another MN guy here.

My name is Bill, it's in the second sentence of my intro. BTW, we used to live in St. Michael (5.5 yrs.ago) before moving to our new place. The outlet mall and The Corner Bar were there, but not much else.
:beers:

 

[Ricks70ss]

Yeah that bar still there. But the other one across the street. Now has a new drug store next to it & an office bldg. Plus they cr 36 is now wider all the way to 94two lanes each way. speed limit is 60. Took the chevelle down it when it opened. Got on it hard from the light. up to 60 anyways. felt good. all new cement. But now smokie is out there watching.

Never heard of Hallowild. Been to the Rock numerous times.

Been to Cedar Fall a few times also.

Hopefully they they reorganize the way BIR is run with the new ownership. We like going for the Show-n-Go, but I hate having to sit in the staging lanes forever. :noway:
